Can anybody explain to me how this will work? A better way of tower triangulation?

How will it be when phones have better accuracy than a dedicated GPS? I'm not sure but I think we're there already. In the consumer environment: The only thing left is battery life. For the rest phones do everything better. Edwin Or a signal. I've seen caches where the CO advises there is no mobile...

Available in an Apple App Store near you! Version 2.2 has been released. The biggest thing is the speed for the cleanup afterwards, it could take up to 9 seconds for a larger database. KML files exported from Google Earth are now done better. And when disabling the GNSSr, it will put a marker at the...

From https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Memorandum_on_GPS_2019.pdf: In the GPS protocol, the week number field is a ten bit value. So every 1024 weeks it will return to zero. Week 0 is 5 January 1980. And 21 August 1999. And will be 6 April 2019. So don't be surprised if your...

So just a variation of what3words (which I have already seen used in a mystery) but with less resolution (as standard). But of course google want to control everything :? Euhm... Close but no fish: What3words is a proprietary database which you need to query if you want to do translations. Plus cod...

Not sure if the 14x14m resolution is good enough for us to implement That 14x14m is the limitation of the "two character behind the +" notation. If you want 3x3m you just add another character to it: X43F+75 vs X43F+753. You have the same issue with the degrees decimal minutes notation if you limit...
